I don't like Jones.
I like Rampage, he's funny and a solid dude. Plus was cool enough to chat for a minute when I saw him in my hotel lobby this spring.

Yeah its just the amount the last time i saw that much it was on chael sonnen when he fought Silva. Rory was even more impressive 2 fights ago when he was slamming the hell out of his oppenent well into the third round he is always improving and is gonna be a force in the future.Rory is a very young guy, only 21 or 22 (can't remember)? You maybe right but at that young age, someone working out and sweating all the time it wouldn't surprise me to see some back acne
I really like Jones and I have never really thought his attitude was bad. Infact I never heard a negitive word about him until he said he would fight Evans. I love that attitude that I dont care who I fight I'm go out there and take a fight to them and win. Much better then someone not wanting to fight a training partner.

Not sure how anyone can say that this was a poor or boring card. 4 of the 5 PPV fights ended in great KO's...you don't get much better than that. It may have shortened, but it was good!
Kind of figured Hamill would retire after that. Maybe he will keep working out and work on his boxing for a year and try to make a comeback...that is the only chance he has of being successful at this point.
For the Rampage/Evans debate. I absolutely love Rampage. Love the humor and his attitude. HATE, HATE, HATE Evans. Their season of Ultimate Fighter is what got me into the UFC and I couldn't stand the trash that Evans talked. Sure Rampage did a lot of trash talk, but it was more humorous and seemed not so nasty. Evans just seemed like a DOUCHE! However, I do agree that he was one of the better coaches on the show.
For the Belfort/Sexiyama fight...absolutely knew that was how it would go. I have NEVER EVER been impressed by Sexiyama...hopefully he will take his talents somewhere else.
Loved the Ebersole BONUS that White gave him...cracked me up!
Finally, the comments on Jones, the negative ones above are the first ones I have ever heard HATING on Jones. Everyone else I have ever talked to LOVE him...including me! I disagree completely what everyone says about his attitude and sense of entitlement. Everything you read about him says he is the most down to earth guy in the UFC. From what I can tell, seems like an upright, Christian man. Oh well, not everyone will like him.
I respect you opinion but can't believe that you wouldn't want him in the UFC, he is exactly the kind of guy that the UFC needs, he comes to FIGHT, not lay and pray his way to a victory. His first 3 fights in the UFC were all fight of the nights. He was beating Chris Leben before he got triangled with about 20 seconds left in the fight. He fought an extremely close fight with Bisping as well. To be honest he shouldn't have even been fighting Belfort. He had just lost 2 straight and the UFC feeds him to the guy who just fought for the title and is a top 3 middleweight. They should force Akiyama to drop to 170 and fight there. With the UFC heading to Japan soon I don't think there is any way they cut him as he is a SUPERSTAR in Japan. If he doesn't drop to WW I would love to see Sexyama vs Wanderlei in Japan, that would be amazing.

Jones and Rampage are probably my 2 favorite fighters, kinda sucks that thety have to fight eachother. Evans on the other hand is a punk and when he fights someone who hes scared of (Rampage) he fights like a bitch

I love Jones. I don't care how these guys are outside the ring as I pay to see them fight not live their lives. Jones could be a cocky ass sure but so far has backed that up as well!! I want him to destroy both Rampage and Evans!

Evans became really timid after being ktfo by Machida, he went back to his wrestling roots. He was still almost finished by Rampage and Thiago Silva despite winning those fights. Seems like he didn't respect Tito's standup and let loose a little more in this past fight.

I think Jones is an awesome fighter and i expect him to beat up guys for awhile, but that doesn't mean i'll root for him to do it ha. Love Rampage.

Yeah. He's entertaining as fuck to watch. Too bad he's gotten big-time to the point he won't be headlining free cards now, so I'll have to pay money to watch him. Bastard...

I never pay for cards. Usually sports bars show UFC PPV. I give a few places a call in my area to see who's carrying it, they're too expensive for the risk of crap fights

Well I'd more than likely drop 50+ on food and drink out watching it so I stay home and get comfortable.

This. The only time I've gone out to watch a fight is when I didn't want to sit in front of me computer screen. UFC 114 and UFC 115. Then for UFC 116 I was out of town so I had to go watch my dude Brock fight at Bdubs. It was a great time, I got free jello shots yet not being 21 yet lol. Considering the entire place was 90% Brock fans it made for one hell of a night. Other than that, I like to stay at home and order certain fights, granted the past couple of cards haven't been worthy of ordering. UFC 134-142 will all be worthy of ordering now.

Add me to the list who would rather watch the fights at home. Bars get way too crowded and then I end up dropping a lot of loot on booze and food. Plus it always irritates me when you have the people who don't even like the fights who sit there and run down the sport and claim boxing is going to come back or the guys who think they can take every fighter. Ha I'd just rather stay home and be comfortable plus I can see my tv better.

^^^Agreed. Hooters has tiny tv's to watch fight's on they're out of the question.
Bdubs has projectors everywhere so that's why I go there sometimes.

Place i go to usually has beer specials. They had $3 dollar draft and .50 cent wings. If you drop more than 50 with prices like that i'm impressed.

No one is bashing you Raw for liking to go out for the events. I'd guess there are plenty of people who feel that way. I'd just prefer to be home.

You see that would be nice but the only places I have been during fights is a bar in Lakewood (which was packed as hell and only had two 27 inch tv's hanging up) and BW3's that had nice projector screens but the beer is kind of expensive for my tastes and it got packed at 7:30. That is why I choose to be at home for the events.

yeah another problem like you say bigdaddy2003 is you have to get to most places hours before the fights to lock up a seat and I don't want to be out all dang day and night!
